Vista - Weird behavior when printing

We have observed some pretty weird behaviour with Windows mail and Internet
Explorer 7 and was wondering if any had a cure for this.

First when you print a html based email from sites such as paypal, ebay etc
it doesn't print the header information for the email - just the content.

Second when the printing takes place it pushes window mail to the back of
all open windows adding further keystrokes - when you are printing several
emails one after the other this is very tedious.

Third, if you click on a link on an email it pushes windows mail to the back
of any open windows and if it is the only open window not only does it open
internet explorer but it then opens a second window for the link.

For #1, I think there are some known issues with IE7 and printing in OE and
in WinMail. So you'll just have to wait for them to sort that out. I don't
know about the others, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I have the same problem and found that when you change all emails to be read
in plain text then the header information will print. That of course causes
some other problems. Steve do you know if MS has been made aware of the
problem?

There is a hotfix for OE6, but I don't know about for Vista. We (MVPs) have
indicated that this is an issue to MS. One of the problems with it and
other issues is that they are sometimes hard to reproduce, but even when
they have a "fix", it takes a long time for it to get to the users.
